Yes, I'd be happy to share what happened to help others avoid the same mistake. I saw a listing for an apartment and contacted the person renting it. When I asked to schedule a viewing, they told me I had to pay €1,000 in advance before seeing the apartment. That was a red flag, and I realized it was likely a scam. No one should pay anything before seeing the place in person and signing a proper rental contract.
